big open sky





now that the weather is warmer i will once again be able to start my day(s) outside looking up towards the universe
i try to begin each day with gentle stretching incorporating yoga/pilates/ballet moves 
of course my dog loves the extra time spent outdoors too

Weather



What a beautiful day!  It was like summer with temperatures reaching 26 and feeling like 30 by early evening....  an amazing downpour of rain showers set in with a little thunder and lightning for effect

i've got the patio doors open as i journal ... the gentle sound of the rain falling is so peaceful and soothing...  makes me think of Vancouver
